There are a few new features on this forum that weren't on the last one. I'll post a few tips for you.
Changing the color of the forum.
I chose a theme for the forum that gives the members control over the colors they like to see. Some like to read on lighter colors, some on darker. This picture helps explain how to do it. It's simple, just click the color box you want (on the upper right hand side of your screen) and watch magic happen.
